Good afternoon, I have gone a long time with no post, but I have an issue. I have a 63 impala with a 350 motor, car was cranking and running just fine. Car has all new wiring harness' I moved the starter solenoid to the fire wall; the car has electric ignition, car still staring and running fine. Today when I open the car door the inside lights worked fine, when I turn the key to start the car, the car made a popping sound, which seem to have come from the battery then everything went dead, no power to the switch, no power coming into the car, the battery is well charged, no clicking from the starter, no interior lights, everything is totally dead, rechecked battery still everything is dead. Put battery charger leads directly to the battery cables everything still dead; no power seems to be coming into the car. Can someone give me a starting point or does someone know what's going on.

Check the connections on the "ford" start relay on the firewall.

Sounds like a blown fusible link or main fuse, popping sound, not sure what they used in that year?
